What is a Cosmetologist and Skincare Therapist?

A cosmetologist and skincare therapist is a professional practitioner who specializes in a wide range of beauty treatments, including facial and body treatments, pedicures, manicures, hair removal, electrolysis, and makeup. The training does not end there. The field is evolving rapidly, and you can continue to keep pace and acquire new skills through advanced courses and further education—for example in cosmetic tattooing or as a nail technician. An important part of the role also includes client care through consultation and the sale of beauty products tailored to each client’s individual needs.
